Hello everyone
I am a newbie here. I just purchased the Sony 505 model and just got it in the mail the other day. Can anyone tell me since I have not yet gone through all the posts on here can I obtain ebooks for this device from other places other than the books on the software it comes with.

Thanks
Karrie

Hi Karrie! Welcome!

Getting content is really becoming simple, it's like you can't toss a rock without tripping over an ebookseller anymore. (Yay!)

Free:
Look up. That blue bar across the top of the screen has a link "ebooks." You want the ones designated as formatted in PRC for your Sony.

Newer and/or Bestsellers:
Fictionwise.com (IMNSHO the best bookseller out there)
Baen Books

Google "ebooks" and you will find you have googled gazillions of places to get books.

Welcome and Happy Reading!

Depending on country of residence, you can also borrow ebooks from your local library.

To find a library in your home state/country go to http://search.overdrive.com/

Also, check the wiki in the upper left of this site and you will find other information on lending libraries https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EBook_Lending_Libraries
